Prediction: 1-3
Bayer Leverkusen
David faces Goliath at Schuco Arena as Arminia Bielefeld and Bayer Leverkusen go head to head in the DFB Pokal semis. Die Arminien did well to shock Werder Bremen in the quarter-finals, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against Xabi Alonso’s troops. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team ahead of Tuesday’s showdown. The BayArena outfit, on the other hand, have slim chances of winning yet another Bundesliga trophy.
Therefore, Florian Wirtz and Co. surely want to go all the way in the German Cup. As Xabi Alonso can count on key players for the DFB Pokal clash, anything but a routine away win would be a big surprise. The likes of Mario Hermoso, Nathan Tella, Martin Terrier, and Edmond Tapsoba continue to miss out with injuries for the Bundesliga side. In their last meeting in a competitive match (Bundesliga 2022), Bayer Leverkusen defeated Arminia Bielefeld 3-0.
Highlighted Player (Alex Grimaldo):
Alex Grimaldo is a Spanish footballer who plays for Portuguese side Benfica as a left back. Born in Valencia on September 20, 1995, Grimaldo started his youth career at his hometown club FC Valencia, but in 2008 Barcelona scouts brought him to Camp Nou.
The 171-cm-tall footballer scored six goals in 92 appearances for Barca B before joining Primeira Liga club Benfica in the winter of 2015. Alex Grimaldo made his debut with the Eagles on January 26, 2016 in a 6-1 win at Moreirense in the Taca da Liga. Speaking of his Primeira Liga debut, Grimaldo played his first league game for Benfica on February 29, 2016 in a 2-0 win over Uniao Leiria.
The Benfica defender has two caps for Spain U21 team, but he has yet to make his debut with the senior team. His main position is left-back, but he is capable of producing fine performances as a left winger as well.
Highlighted Team (Arminia Bielefeld):
Arminia Bielefeld is a German club founded on May 3, 1905. Die Arminen play home games at Bielefelder Alm. The venue was built in 1926, and it can hold up to 26,515 spectators.

Back in 1922 they won the Western German football championship, with the team repeating the success the following year. Arminia Bielefeld wear dark blue shirts when playing at home ground, while white is the dominant colour of their away jersey.
